I want start with mountainbike so i need an bike i need help with brand and support how start with buy one. My name is Patrick and i live in Netherlands so i need some advice for biking. I saw many bikes on web but they are different for me like brakes, crank and brakes i see that the review always talk about that and not forget fork as speciality so I need a price for starter in help with that because i like review but real time will be different for me because i did bmx as very young guy and i do not like the mountainbike bar he is skinny also so maybe i can do hiking with bike. I spend 1300 euro for bike but i see that materials are strong like fork, cassette and crank logo srim with help for more... i do not know. What must i do to deserve the bike like all expensive materials i do not like cheap materials for bike. I were thinking for an SALSA TIMBER BIKE or SPECIALIZED but there are also other brands like TREK. I am a starter so i must try like on way, sand, hills like that so i need advice. Can someone say must i first try with rent or buy now or wait like other guys. I hate it know because i did read reviews about it and i try in OSLO NORWAY for see things in me. Please i need help for life in bike.
